"A railway collision occurred at 6.30 o'clock last night almost opposite the Mortuary Station at Regent-street, on the Sydney side of the Redfern tunnel, or what is known as the bottle-neck," the Herald reported. "Of the passengers injured 16 were conveyed in a fleet of ambulance cars to Sydney Hospital and Royal Prince Alfred Hospital. The scene of the collision was one of almost indescribable confusion."

"The death occurred on Monday of Mr Victor Myers, formerly a well-known midget comedian, at the age of 30 years. Born in Bradford (England), Mr Myers came to Australia with his parents as a child. As a boy he successfully toured the Commonwealth and New Zealand. Mr Myers suffered severe financial loss, and eventually relinquished his profession. His funeral took place at Rookwood."

"In the first Union master picture, Painted Daughters, now being completed at Rushcutter Bay Studio, no less than 45 of the girls and men tested by Miss Louise Lovely had been given parts. The final "shots" will be taken on Sunday morning outside Her Majesty's Theatre, at 10 o'clock, and Mr Stuart Whyte has specially invited previous competitors in the Louise Lovely star-finding season to be present."
